CLEVELAND ASKS
TO CAST VOTES
I'•
.County Chairman Warns Vot
ers to Closely Examine
Election Ballots.
Philip M. Cleveland, chairman of
the Democratic committee of
Spalding county, issues the follow
ing statement to the Democrats of
this county: : ,,u.............
... .. ...........
The general election is now at
hand, and due to the local and na
tional Democratic issues involved,
every Democrat who feels the in
terest of his party ^nd nation at
heart should make every effort to
cast his ballot tomorrow.
Several Tickets.
I “As there will be several tickets
at the polls, it will be necessary
for every Democrat to be very
careful to see exactly what ticket
he iS voting.
u There will be an Independent
.ballot, a Republican ballot, and a
Progressive ballot at the polls as
well as the Democratic ballot.
In many respects the other bal
lots will look just like the Demo
cratic ballot.
Examine Ballots.
il Every Democratic voter should
not only look at the top of the
ballot to see whether, or not it is
the Democratic ticket he is voting,
but should read down the ticket to
see that no mistake is being made
by him.
<< The South has always been
justly criticized by our Northern
and Western Democratic brothers
for our failure to vote on presi
dential election days.
U We Democraxs fn the South
should be active even when we
know there is no competition to
our nominees.
“This year we should be espe
cially active.
.. There are other candidates
right here opposing the Demo
cratic ticket.
It is to be hoped that every
Democrat in Spalding county will
lay aside his personal duties this
day for a long enough time to cast
his ballot, as it is the duty of
every patriotic citizen. »
